How do I update my SAS setinit when my SAS/Windows has expired?
If your copy of SAS has expired, you will not be able to update SAS within SAS and you need to update the SETINIT.SAS file differently. You probably received your setinit in an email message. You will have to save it to a file called setinit.sss or setinit.sas on your machine. Make sure the version for setinit.sss is the right version for your copy of SAS on the machine. If you are not sure which version of SAS 8 you have on your machine, read this.
